LATE FLOWERING TULIPS 
Under this heading are classed the Cottage or May Flowering, the Darwin, the Breeder, the 
Rembrandt and the Parrot Tulips. 
All are exceptionally desirable for garden decoration and with the possible exception of the Parrots 
are unsurpassed as a cut flower for vases or baskets. 
Each year has shown a well merited increase in their popularity and we recommend unreservedly 
the planting of them, especially out of doors. 
. All late flowering tulips should be planted 4 to 6 inches deep and about 5 inchesapart. Good drain- 
age being necessary, an inch or so of sand placed beneath the bulbs when planting will be found very 
desirable to drain off any surplus water. Protect the bulbs with a slight mulch of leaves, removing it as 
early in spring as growth commences. 
The letters D, E-, F, G, etc., following the name of a variety refer to its time of blooming when 
blanted outdoors; they follow tn close succession the latest of the early flowering sorts. The height 1s 
given in inches. 
Cottage or May Flowering Tulips 
An excellent class of single late flowering tulips which are specially adapted for planting among 
shrubbery or in masses in the open border, where if left undisturbed they will often bloom freely for 
several years. Their long graceful stems and brilliant colors make them exceptionally desirable for cut 
flowers; many of them are also delightfully fragrant.
